Susan Nance is looking to put together an animal studies panel(s?) for this year’s Western Literature Association meeting. The conference will be a great place to really think about and talk about how Westerners have interacted with and conceived of animals, and to do so in some very open-ended and innovative ways. I will be offering a paper on the nature of animal celebrity in the transnational, virtual “West” of social media and urban rodeo promotion (ie. websites) since 1990. At this stage, other paper options are infinite…
The interested should please send paper proposals of up to 250 words with ample contact information to me at snance@uoguelph.ca by May 22, 2012.
The WLA deadline for proposals is June 22, 2012
